Beautiful red 1994 Ford Taurus Sho. This Sho is original, other than the paint. This is a rare and unmolested Sho. These are getting harder and harder to find, especially one with such a nice exterior and interior. The 3.2 Yamaha V6 with factory 220 horsepower runs great. The engine does not overheat or sound like it is falling apart. The acceleration is there when you need it. Automatic transmission shifts like it should. It you punch the accelerator, the car will accelerate very quickly. Factory dual stock exhaust sounds good.
The car was painted approximately 5 years ago. It was a very nice paint job. Not perfect, but a solid 8 or 9 out of 10. I get lots of stares and compliments everywhere I go. The original slicer rims look nice. The body has some minor door dings, but no other body damage. The cladding and body parts are all there, and they look nice. There are only two small areas of rust: First one is on just behind the rear passenger door. It is on the upper rear pillar area. The other one is on the same side on the lower quarter panel area. Both are about the size of a 50 cent piece. I took photographs of both of them. You can't see them unless you are close to the car and looking for them. They are starting to bubble under the paint. The rest of the body looks very, very nice. No rust including the trunk lip, door jambs, etc. When you look under this car, you will see a clean car that is not ate up with rust. Tires, brakes, and exhaust are good. Suspension feels fine. Car drives and stops straight. Interior is very nice. The leather is a solid 9.5 out of 10. This includes both front and rear seats. Carpet looks almost like new. Headliner, door panels, etc. look great. (little marks on both arm areas of front doors from being 20 years old). Some of the interior trim pieces are broken, but these can be easily replaced. A vent or two has the plastic broken too. Auto climate control works perfectly, but the buttons are worn/cracked like almost all other Sho's. Dash looks like new. All glass is in great shape. No funny smells, and no evidence of past smokers.
This car is basically ready to drive across the country. I drove the car to Miami three weeks ago, and it ran perfect both ways. I parked it in my garage when I got back home, and it has not moved. You can pick this Sho up and drive it home, wherever that may be. There are some minor issues with some of the power options, etc. I am going to list everything that I can think of. Remember, the car is 20 years old, and you are going to have some minor things wrong. The good thing is that these things can be fixed a little at a time.
The car has 185,000 miles on it. I was told when I bought the car that the engine had been rebuilt not too long ago. I had a mechanic check the engine and he said that it has high compression and seems to run very well. After sitting in my garage for 3 weeks, I had a small oil spot on the garage floor. It is about the size of a quarter. I do not know where it is coming from. I have not had to add any oil. Whevever it is leaking from, it has to be very minor. Valve cover gaskets will eventually need to be replaced like most Sho's. They have a very small seepage out of the one side. I cleaned it up and it did not leak at all on my trip to Miami. The check engine light comes on some times. The code showed that it had a bad egr valve. I had one installed. Then it threw a code for a crank sensor. I had that replaced. Now it is off, but it could come right back on. This is emission only, so it does not effect the operation. The idle is smooth, and the acceleration is smooth.
Transmisson works perfectly. The overdrive button on the side of the gear shift does not work. Not that you would ever use it unless you are towing a trailer.
Air conditioner works great, and will freeze you out. The bearing on the compressor is just starting to go out, and it has a minor squeal. If the squeal bothers you, you will have to replace the compressor. Eventually, I am sure it will go out.
Air bag light flashes on and off. Code shows that a ground wire is off. I have not been able to locate the loose connection as of yet. I do not have the equipment to trace it down.
Outside keyless entry does not work to unlock car. It will lock doors, etc. Not sure what is wrong with it.
Cd player does not work. Fuse, broke, short?
Rear driver's power window only operates when it wants to.
Rear driver's power window only operates when it wants to.
Factory radio amplifier for radio seems to shut off when you put the brakes on. Electrical problem somewhere.
Coolant recover tank (reservoir) for radiator has a leak. It will eventually need to be fixed or replaced. This is the little tank that holds any overfill from the radiator. I just noticed it yesterday.
Power sunroof works 99 percent of the time. Seems like a rare short.
If you read everything above, and also according to the mechanic, there could be just a main loose ground wire that is causing these items not to work, or to work at times. Unknown if this is correct or not.
All lights are functional including fog lamps. Interior lamps work correctly.
So there you have it. Sho's are tempermental, and usually always need some type of tinkering to them. On the plus side, they are rare and are great performance cars for the money. Most people do not even know what they are until you pop the hood.
I bought this car about a year ago with the intention of keeping it, and slowly making it perfect. After receiving 5 tickets in my gated community as well as numerous warning letters, I must part with my toy. Seems like I have a rule that I can't park any cars on the street after darkness. My wife is tired of her car sitting outside, so the Sho must go. I was told that this car only had older mature owners such as myself. I would say that is true by looking at it. The car has also spent the majority of its life right here in Florida. I have only put 1,000 miles on it or so, and have only driven it on beautiful sunny days.
I have not set any reserve. The higest bid will win this car, unless someone uses the buy it now price. Please remember that once you buy the car, it is yours. $250.00 deposit within 24 hours of winning the car through paypal. The remainder must be paid in cash and the car picked up within 7 days unless other arrangements have been made and approved by me. If you want to know something about the car, or see something, please ask. I reserve the right to remove the car at any time, as I am going to advertise it locally too. If the car does run the course through the auction though, I will honor the bid regardless of the price. Clear title in hand and ready to go. With the great slicers, body panels, interior pieces, power options, leather seats, etc.....this car would be a good buy even if it did not run. Well, as I said, this car is ready to drive to California. Good luck!

Two more things. The button on the gear shift that I listed above allows you to manually drop the car down from fourth gear (overdrive) to third gear. The transmission shifts great through all four gears the way it is. If you decide to tow a heavy trailer or pull something, you may want to get it fixed. I never had time to check this button out. It probably is something easy like a fuse or loose connection, but I do not know this for sure.
The power antenna does not operate, which makes me think that loose ground wire could be causing most of these little electical problems stated above.

Ford reveals all-new Everest SUV at Asia-Pacific forum [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014While the Explorer may have shifted from a truck-based sport-ute to a car-based crossover, Ford still offers buyers on the other side of the Pacific a Ranger-based SUV in the form of the Everest. And at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Beijing today, the Blue Oval revealed the all-new version you see here.
Previewed in concept form over a year ago and made specifically for the Asia-Pacific market, the new Ford Everest is designed to be more refined on the road and more capable off of it. Like the Explorer once was, the new Everest is based on a stretched version of the overseas Ford Ranger pickup. Depending on the specific market, Ford will offer the new Everest with a range of engines including a 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo four and two Duratorq turbodiesels - a 2.2-liter four and a 3.2-liter inline-five - mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Earmarked to take on the likes of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (known in these parts as the Lexus GX) and the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the new Everest promises rock-crawlers even better off-road capabilities. It's got nearly nine inches of ground clearance, over 30 inches of wading depth, a 29-degree approach and 25-degree departure angles and a set of features including on-the-fly adjustable four-wheel drive.
Ford and Chrysler reducing summer plant shutdowns
Wed, 22 May 2013Most domestic automaker assembly plants traditionally take a couple of weeks off during the summer. The shutdowns give each plant time for much needed repairs and maintenance, and in some cases, help better align production with demand. Not this year, though, as demand for many models is outstripping what Ford, Chrysler and General Motors plants can produce.
Ford has announced that it will shorten its annual summer shutdown for most North American plants from two weeks to one. The shorter shutdown will increase the carmaker's annual North American production by 40,000 units on top of the 200,000 extra units that it was already planning to produce this year versus last. Automotive News reports that Ford produced 2.8 million vehicles on this continent in 2012, and that output this year has already increased 13 percent through April.
Chrysler, meanwhile, is also operating at full tilt and plans to run some plants through the summer with no shutdown at all. Those not getting a break include Jefferson North where the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango are assembled, Toledo North that will assemble the new Cherokee, and Conner Avenue, home of SRT Viper production. Other assembly plants will be down for a single week, while all of Chrysler's engine and transmission plants except one in Indiana will continue operating with no shutdown this summer.
Ford reveals new Galaxy van for Europe [w/video]
Mon, Apr 6 2015Here in its home market, Ford may be focusing more on crossovers, but overseas, minivans are still playing a crucial roll for global automakers. So while the Aerostar, Windstar and Freestar may have given way to the Flex and Edge, over in Europe, the Blue Oval automaker has revealed the all-new fourth-generation Galaxy. Following up on the MPV initially launched in 1995, replaced in 2000 and again in 2006, the new Galaxy features updated styling and equipment to position itself as the luxury counterpart to the sportier S-Max that just relaunched last year. Behind the Aston-style grille that's been finding its way onto just about every new passenger car Ford makes is a range of updated engine options, including two EcoBoost gasoline engines (a 1.5-liter unit with 158 horsepower or a 2.0 with 237) and a 2.0-liter turbo diesel available in states of tune ranging from 118 hp all the way up to 207. The flexible seven-seat cabin features a flat load floor, seats that stow and even deploy at the push of a button and an available full-length retractable panoramic sunroof. The new integral link rear suspension promises a smooth ride, with an available self-leveling feature just one of the many convenience and safety systems integrated into Ford's new European family hauler – the full extent of which you can read in the press release below. On your way down, you may want to check out the stunt which Ford staged with illusionist Darcy Oake to launch the new Galaxy. This content is hosted by a third party.
